    Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory

    Penn State University

    State College

    PA

    I researched dynamical systems and concluded my dissertation research. I collaborated with professors from several universities to prove theorems and coauthor a paper. I lectured Multivariable Calculus

    Linear Algebra

    and Calculus II.

    Postdoctoral Research Associate

    Penn State University

    I propose models of genetic transmission of Autism based on current literature and deduce their implications (either analytically or via simulations in Python). Then I Analyze terabytes of bulk DNA data (on a Linux cluster) collected from thousands of families with Autism and compare the results to the models' predictions.
